People asking will I be fighting mitchell before Xmas I doubt it will happen as my trainer wants me to rest and let my body have a rest but if it was for a offer I couldn't refuse and guaranteed bigger things after it I couldn't see us refusing it , plus if I asked for Mitchell 2/3 years ago would of give me the opportunity .

He should Crolla instead then.

Fighters fight

Agree don't think Anthony is matched so let them battle against each other

Would love either to happen before Christmas.

I would have to agree with your team derry and anyone who questions that is being unrealistic I have no doubt that you would take the fight however your body must need the rest due to the efforts you put in you deserve a decent rest to be fresh for 2014

Are you not interested in this fight Derry?
Or is it just this side if Xmas you don't fancy?

I would love the fight but it's got to be worth a good offer with options for better things after it etc

Yes beating Kevin should open doors for bigger things but I need it on paper

Would you like a rematch with the guy who's the european champion now?

Is crolla not fighting Gethin now ?

Derry, the Mitchell fight would be to a big of a risk for such a small return mate IMO. Can't u try and move onto European?

I know fighters have to treat there careers carefully as setbacks can mean a great deal of inactivity & zilch exposure straight away.
Kevin Mitchell has been spanked each time he's stepped to the plate & is just outside world level & a gateholder for people to progress into the frame of bigger fights.
I don't know what Derry normally gets paid or what he would get paid against Mitchell. But it seems a great oppurtunity to get mentioned in the same breath as ricky burns & would make Derry much more marketable for such a bout.

Emiliano Marsili is probably not far away from a retirement world title fight I doubt he'll be looking to defend again beyond his next fight.

I hope you get the Mitchell fight , would love to see you beat him ... since your comeback you have won me over and its an honour to see you fight... one thing i do want to clarify, what is the situation with Richard Commey. Is he not your mandatory for your belt?

That fights at purse bids but gethin is injuired I believe so doubts on wen that fight cud happen and if matchroom see that way for crolla

Emiliano Marsili was on twiiter asking the fake allegedly and the real eddie hearn to sign him up so don't think hes looking to retire but I don't theres much money fighting in italy

Interesting.

He can't have much of a promoter.

Richard Commney would give either Derry or Kevin a real good test, that lad can punch a bit and is very strong.
Derry may just vacate and fight Kevin which is a bigger and better fight domestically

Did you not say on another thread that Commney would beat them both as you have seen him in your gym? I prefer Derry v Commney anyway that would be a tear up that I would fancy Derry to win!! As for Mitchell I think he may just be a level above but Derry has proven me wrong before!!

Yes he's next so his manager better get his hands in his pockets and make it happen

I think I saw you say something about 6 big fights left Derry is that hopefully ending with a world title shot?

Why don't Sky ever mention Terry Flannigan when creaming over the Lightweight division?
